the sport to him, and has loved it ever since. Joey skates in local
and national competitions, and has been invited to skate at the AST

2006, at the Playstation Hook Up, he was named event MVP
by Mike Vallely.[2] In
2007, he performed 4 continuous 540's in one run while at the Dew
Tour stop in Washington State. Joey skates the same high
vert ramps as the pros
and has skated with some well-renowned skaters at the Dew Tour,
including another Maryland native, Bucky Lasek, and Olympic gold medal winner Shaun White. Joey
skates at competitions around the United States and is part of the State of
